With its award-winning book and score, this stunning new production includes the unforgettable songs Hard Knock Life, Easy Street, I Don’t Need Anything But You and Tomorrow. Don’t miss Annie – you can bet your bottom dollar that you’ll love it!
If you like your entertainment sweet, syrupy and sentimental and thoroughly family-friendly then you’ll love it – those looking for something with a bit more grit should look elsewhere.
Echoes back to the 1982 film or your school’s drama production are long forgotten. This production’s magic keeps you spellbound right through to the very end – where, on opening night, it fully deserved it’s standing ovation.
It’s a hard knock life this reviewing lark, but with its well-known score and songs, this firm favourite for big and little kids is one that you should be booking for Tomorrow.
Big, energetic.
Happily, this band of youngsters seems to be keeping the big ones on their toes and the audience hanging on their every word.
